But I DO have assignments!!

Many of the class assignment pages are entirely blank.  Many others, though, DO have something written on them.  If I haven't praised the teachers here yet then there is a good chance that I did not find whatever was posted on the assignment page useful at all.

For example:

Monday: Write spelling words in alphabetical order
Tuesday: Write spelling words in sentences.
Wednesday: Write spelling words 5 times each.
Thursday: Practice spelling words out loud with a parent or older sibling.
Friday: Spelling Test.

Would you say this was helpful?

On the surface I suppose it does seem like we have in fact been given homework assignments.  Useful though?  I think not.

WHAT are the spelling words my child is to write in various forms this week?

Do you see how uttterly UNuseful something generic like this is?  Without the specific spelling word, or math problems ( I found much the same referring to math as well) you might as well just not post anything.

Which is what many do anyway.

Why am I doing this?
